    I feel like I’m bulking wrong and don’t know what to do?

    @retropod Make it easy on yourself and use whatever method is the least annoying/most likely for you to follow through with. For example, I’ve tried a probably 5 or 6 fancy, popular apps and I always find that a notebook ends up just being the easiest for me. Good luck and let us know how the...

    I feel like I’m bulking wrong and don’t know what to do?

    @retropod Well, to build muscle you need to progressively overload the existing muscle you have, so yes not being on some kind of a structured program and not tracking your strength progress is definitely a problem. If you only went up a very modest amount of reps and/or weight in the time...

    School Fitness/Testing in your country

    @absorbentghost Lmao when they were like “they trick you into thinking you’re eating a pint but it’s got air whipped into it!” I was like “so...?” Also their rant about HaloTop having more protein than regular ice cream because the company was founded by bros. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    School Fitness/Testing in your country

    @heartofberries I know the podcast you’re referring to, and while I adore the hosts, I don’t believe they do as much research as they claim to. It’s a bit disappointing, though not surprising, to see XXF’ers from the countries they touted as so much more enlightened about PE saying they had the...
